Every little helps, says MSP

AN MSP from the Capital has praised a scheme which saw more than £13,000 worth of IT and sports equipment handed over to schools and clubs in his constituency.

Last year, 63 schools and clubs in the Edinburgh Pentlands area collected 482,529 vouchers for the Tesco for Schools and Clubs initiative.

Gordon Macdonald attended a presentation recently, when the equipment was handed over to delighted youngsters.

Speaking afterwards, the MSP said: “Tesco for Schools and Clubs is a great scheme, which provides valuable extra resources for our schools and clubs.

“The beauty of this scheme is that it brings the whole 
community together to support the local school, whether it is Bonaly, Clovenstone 
or Oxgangs.

“You could see from the faces of the pupils that they are looking forward to using the IT and sports equipment.”
